Those are valid points, we dislike some of things GNOME3 did (like dropping support for custom screensaver graphics), some will be added back, GNOME3 and Unity are still quite new, I understand it can be frustrating meanwhile, sorry about that.
Some side notes on the example you took - you can change the default session simply by picking it in lightdm (you need to log you and log in with the news session), but indeed it might not be obvious for users who configured autologin and usually don't see the login screen. - user groups configuration is a "known issue", you can only deal with profiles in the new UI, you can look at bug #840682 if you are interested in that issue or https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658418 - not sure that the power button configurability is something useful, it displays a dialog with the different sessions option, which is something that works for 99% of the users, the extra 1% can still get to the setting with tweak tools ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #658418 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658418 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/880331 Title: Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 1. Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686 2. software-center 5.0.1.5 / power settings menu / gnome-power-manager 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 3.expected to keep this option I had configured in Natty after upgrading to Oneiric 4. after migrating to Oneiric, this feature (closing the lid shuts down the laptop) disappeared. There is no way to set it again inside the power settings menu of the software center, as this option does not appear anymore under the settings for the lid options. Nor is it possible to set it again via gconf-editor: apps-->gnome-power-manager-->buttons and set lid_ac and/or lid_battery to "shutdown" (when changed to "shutdown", it does not change the power manager behavior when the lid closes)- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/880331/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
